    I love the Parkway pic Chunk. One of these day's I'm going to make a nice long bike trip and hit the Parkway. I had planned on doing it a couple years ago, but that fell through.

    I don't know where your tree shot was taken... The color in the last "hint" pic you posted reminded me of Bryce, but I think I would have spotted that in one of my 3 trips there... Of course there are lots of other parks with those colors too.

    Thanks Mike. I've only ridden a few sections of the BRP. This shot was taken in June on a rainy day on the westernmost section. There wasn't much light but I liked the feeling of what there was. I, too, hope to make a complete ride of the Parkway and then run the Skyline Drive north from there. Maybe next year.

    You are right about the tree. I think it was at the top of the trail from the parking lot to Bryce point. What that guy in the tree pic is pointing at is this scene of the amphitheater so I guess you can be excused for not noticing the tree. the other shots are a closeup of the tree's root and a shot along the trail back to the parking lot.

    Now I'm going to have to go back thru my pics of Bryce to see if I can find that tree.

    Thanks Paul. That coyote was a hoot to watch. He walked right down the middle of the road and stole a small dead rodent from a group of magpie's. They weren't real happy about that.

    Great shots Mike. I was worried about those elk while riding through the western part of the park during dusk - they were moving off the mountain into the meadow in pretty good numbers and I didn't know if they'd get mad at a bike.
    Here's some of the flora from the tundra region up on top the next morning and a wider view.

    Nice shots Chunk! It was a little to early when I was there this spring so I don't have any flower picks to post form Rocky Mt. N.P. Here are a few more of what I do have tho.
